OH always drools over 4 x 4 Land Rovers. When one of his milestones was approaching, it was suggested he had an 'off road experience' voucher which he turned down flat. Strange man!

It's good to do something different (but not just for milestone birthdays).

For my 18th I got engaged :-)

For my 21st I got married :-|

For my 30th I got divorced :-S and got a tattoo ;-) and went skydiving :-D

For my 40th I quit the job I'd been in for nearly 25 years and did a bit of travelling :-D :-D

For my 50th I did a bit more travelling and South East Asia is still recovering :-D

Since then I've decided to grow old disgracefully and take (very) early retirement.

BUT, it all depends what suits you - OH had a big milestone birthday recently and when I asked him what he wanted to do (big party? trip of a lifetime?) he just said "No pet, just get us a nice bit of haddock" so he got what he wanted.

im normally the same ron just go out for a meal but fancy doing something different

Don't really bother apart from a meal out for the family (I'm 73) Hate fuss

AnnCardiff.......

I don't care if Paul can't sing......... I'm half deaf.......... and if he turned up here I'd take my glasses off..... so that he'd look less wrinkly.

:-D

I hope he takes his contact lenses out :-)

thanx everyone for the ideas

OH had a sea-plane flight over the Inner Hebrides for his 70th.

Elder son had glider lessons for his 50th and younger son a weekend in a posh London hotel with a theatre visit.

The only one I can recall was my 40th. I had a completely new hairdo, got my ears pierced and went up in a hot air balloon........and I'm scared of heights!! :-S I remember it was a big safari balloon and when we came down we did a 2 field landing .........across an electric fence.

I have to add, in this area the craze for celebrations seems to be wing walking.

My milestones have for my 60th and 70th coincided with first ruby and then gold anniversaries as the dates are just 2 weeks apart for my 60th/Ruby wedding and my retirement we had a big 'do' at the golf club. For my 70th we were at daughters and all went out for a meal then 2 weeks later we went to Jersey. So nothing adventurous for us. :-D

:-D :-D Susan wiv

My Oh has a Milestone coming up and if he thinks for one minute that it is an excuse to get plastered he will be wearing said milestone round his neck!

Dizzi.....next birthday, give him a real surprise and throw him and his clothes out :-D :-D

Just kidding, honest. :-D

We always have the family round for a good old knees up, mind you we do that a lot anyway.

How about a hot air balloon flight?

ALL OUR MILESTONE BIRTHDAYS AND ANNIVERSARY'S ALWAYS END IN DISASTER.
AS LAST WEEK IT WAS MY 65th BIRTHDAY,,OH IN HOSPITAL ,ME AT HOSPITAL
MY OH DON'T BELIEVE IN BIRTHDAYS ANNIVERSARY'S OR EVEN CHRISTMAS,

Like Det most of ours seem to involve meals or weekends away, but for my 70th (now you all now I'm ancient lol) my family arranged a flight in a hot air balloon for me and OH. There were 12 people in our balloon. We all helped with getting the balloon ready, had a lovely flight of about an hour and a glass of champagne when we landed.

It is my 60th next month .My kids would have liked me to have a good old 'do' but I'm of to Paris with OH for a few days :-D

but Paul McCartney can't sing :-D

I wish graham lol aww jean hope j has a lovely birthday

OH has his 80th on 18th June, which is amazing to say the least after the close shave three years ago... we have loads of very special surprises for him, cant wait to see his face...

love Jean xx :-D :-D :-D <3

Next week I'm having a "milestone"

I've been trying (with no luck) to get Paul McCartney to come and sing with me.

.......... When I'm 64 :-D :-D :-D
